5 This We Know On A Sunday
- I’m not sure what age it is when we all begin to think about gas mileage, but it needs to be one of those “Turning Into Your Parents” insurance commercials. Driving back from Red River this week for the first time in our new car I was fascinated by the gas mileage. . . Probably drove my wife nuts mentioning the fluctuations as we made the climb out of the mountains and then made the rest of the drive heading “downhill” to West Texas. Of course we had to factor in the crosswind… For those wondering, the mileage was great! Can’t wait to compare it again the next time we make the drive. I took notes. I think if I adjust the tire pressures and maybe a new air filter I can do better. I’ll let you know…
- There’s nothing more defeating than going to one of your favorite towns and finding out one of your favorite places to eat is closed. But then, you find out they’ll be open the last day you’re there. But then you go to breakfast … and they’re not. I now have to wait another few months to get back to Yesterday’s Diner in Red River to have the breakfast enchiladas. Sometimes, life is unfair.
3. You would think, as citizens who pay for everything the government does, elects the folks to work for us and has oversight of everything via the ballot box; that we might want to think about creating a law that keeps the idiots who work for us from being able to shut the government down. Just throwing this out there, but maybe, just maybe we shouldn’t allow our employees to quit on us. Unless they want to get fired. And in that case, I think many of us would agree that if the folks we elected want to quit by shutting down the government that we pay for… we can make it where they can find new jobs themselves. Obviously, they don’t take their jobs seriously enough to actually do them, so let’s help them find a job they want to do. Red, Blue, Conservative or Liberal, Communist or Whatever, we have to ensure that anyone who votes to not do their job, which is to run the government with our money… they must be fired. It’s really that simple.
4. Fact. The song “Fancy” by Reba McEntire is the greatest song ever about a poor woman who made her daughter become a hooker. Tell me again Country Music isn’t great!
5. There’s nothing better than seeing a little kid at a football game wearing a jersey or even a helmet running around and having fun. In his mind, he is right there in the game with his heroes. There’s nothing stranger than seeing a middle-aged man wearing the jersey of a college player or even NFL player, acting like he might be able to get in the game and help out. If you’re over 30 or so, never wear a jersey that isn’t a direct relative. I violated this rule in my 30s. I was wrong. You don’t have to dress like the players to support the players. Get a nice polo or something. Act like a man. I mean, if you’re gonna wear the jersey, might as well wear the football pants as well. . . I know there is at least one person out there this morning who needs to hear this before putting on a jersey and going to a sports bar to pay far too much for bad hot wings. You’re welcome!
